The San Diego Padres' ongoing quest for a World Series (or at least a playoff title). "You know that many runners enter a race, but only one of them wins the prize. So run to win! Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever." 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Almost There!!

We are just over two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training.

WE ARE JUST OVER TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORTING FOR SPRING TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo excited. Every year I’m always so surprised at how fast the off-season goes by. At the very end of the season, it seems like Spring Training is so far away, but it always flies by so fast.

I’m also really excited about this team. It’s so different that it’s ever been. We’ve got a strange mix of new players, but I think it’s going to work out really well. We just signed Jorge Cantu, which is going to be great, plus we’ve got all these new guys like Aaron Harang, Brad Hawpe, Jason Bartlett, Chad Qualls, Orlando Hudson. I can’t wait to see how all those guys work together and become a team.

There’s been all sorts of interesting things going on around the organization. The Padres Awards dinner was this week, and of course, Adrian won MVP. No surprise there.

The Padres also announced two new jerseys, a gray road one and a new camo jersey. I really like the new camo.

FanFest is in two weeks!!! It’s going to be so great. I can’t wait to go back to Petco Park! I don’t even want to count how long it’s been since I’ve been there. Too long. Way too long.
